Beth Hirsch - Ordinary Life

Suddenly the sun is on
And turned up high
When you don't expect it
Heat's the best surprise
While our clothes
Are hanging on for dear life
Hanging out to dry out
Waiting to be used another day
Time for lunch
Time to set the table
Take a chair
Take the one you like
I wouldn't have to climb
The bar isn't so high
I wouldn't have to guess
The trouble on your mind
I'd hum against the wind
And often at your side
An ordinary we
An ordinary life
Even if you wanted to
You couldn't leave
Neighbors in your skin
Sifted through the lease
Pretty soon we'll be set to buy
We turned that around
We'll have you around
Go on bring your kids and dress it up
Holding on, holding up to grown ups
Making due
Making due for now
They wouldn't have to climb
Ordinary them
Safe and sound
Even in the hard times
If I'm wrong
Least I had the right
I'd hum against the wind
And often at your side
An ordinary we
An ordinary life
An ordinary me
That's life
